pull the transmission off first. Then you don't worry about the hose.

Then just unbolt the compressor (don't evap it) and bungee cord it to the frame. Pull the engine around the hose across the engine bay.

trans jack underneath it, unbolt the mounts, drop it through the bottom. Lift the car, slide it out.

It's really simple.

Edit:

If you can't figure this out, I wouldn't really let you pull my engine.

Don't forget to take the axles out, so you don't destroy them.
